HOusing for PEople, Inc. (HOPE) is a non-profit organization that came into being in 1989. HOPE has been working to provide low-cost housing in the community for nearly 20 years. HOPE provides much of the affordable housing in the mid-Columbia region. There are five apartment complexes in Oregon and Washington. The last local church in Hood River that was willing to serve the homeless was forced to close its doors due to security reasons in 1989. The pastor of that church called community meetings to discuss the increasing problem of homelessness in the community. HOPE was born out of those meetings. A pledge walk and fundraiser was organized and enough money was raised for HOPE to apply for its non-profit status. That status was granted on Jan 2, 1990. HOPE also heads up an emergency voucher program, which provides temporary relief to those in need of emergency shelter, food, or gasoline.
The newest affordable housing project by HOPE is on the Westside of Hood River off May St.- Tyler Terrrace. Eighteen homes ranging in price from approximately $165,000 to $195,000, will be available sometime next spring to the waiting list of qualified buyers. In addition to the low-cost housing, the Tyler Terrace project will offer other lots at market rate. The proceeds of which will help subsidize the low-cost housing. There are also a couple of separate lots for sale; two along Rocky Road and May, and a 1 acre lot with a historic log cabin (built by Capt. Charles Patterson McCan in about 1912 and dubbed his "roadhouse") which will also help subsidize the project. Read the recent HOPE article in the Hood River News.
The historic log home on 1 acre is currently listed for sale for $365,000 on the RMLS. listing #7077022
